Thread: Do I charge?

Had a guy call me tonight wanting three big old Tv's hailed away. Set up a time for Thursday. He calls back 10 mins later asking if I charge a fee? Of course I do. "Oh, well I guess I'll have to make others arrangements cause your ad didnt say you charged a fee". I said, Do you think they run my ad for free in the paper? How in the world do you think I'd be able to pay for ad if I didnt charge a fee? lol.

I do some debris hauling on the side. I make pretty good $ vs landscaping work. Yesterday I hauled off a washer/dryer (neither work) and a 19" tv and particle board shelf thingy. Charged $110. Upstairs apt, prob took 25 mins to load up.

Stripped all copper insulated wire out of tv and W/D. I get $1.10+ for wire. Tinny items like the W/D, get .11 per lb. I earn pretty good money off of scrap metal. I get a lot of brass & tube copper and aluminium as well. Makes lots more $ off of those.

Hauled this away for $175. Sold on CL for $100 today to a local firefighter. Going to deliver for an extra $10. My family thinks its funny I haul away debris & can actually make a living doing that. Could of resold it for more on CL, but my goal is to sell cheap quickly & use that $ elsewhere.
